After The March Against Monsanto, Momentum Favors The People

It is clear that we have just witnessed the largest single worldwide
protest against a company and their products. What is also clear is the
major public disgust for anything bearing the words 'GMO'. Monsanto's
only refuge lies in massively funded mouthpieces in the form of news clips and certain public figures, combined with a legal stranglehold on scientific research
and medical inquiries. Yet in the age of information, their propaganda
is laughable. Meanwhile the townspeople gather, having replaced their
torches and pitchforks with signs and banners. We see this time the
battle being fought from a place of higher consciousness. Our weapons of
choice are the devastating methods of non-compliance, civil
disobedience, and free enterprise. It appears while the smoke is still
clearing from what may be the final March Against Monsanto, momentum favors the people.

Tipping points are historically difficult to pinpoint or predict. They
often manifest in the form of some event or consciousness action that
ignites the minds of the public in a “now I can see” moment. During that
exact second, and no sooner, a mass movement locks into a single idea
that once cemented in stone, will never die. We are at such a point.
The once obscured battle lines in the sand have now been illuminated
with neon signs, doused with gasoline, and set ablaze in our collective
DNA. Into the future we march knowing only one thing clearly,
genetically modified food will not be a part of it.
